Preparing for Success After Prison

Workbook—Federal Bureau of Prisons

By: Michael Santos

Narrated by: Michael Santos

Going to prison presents many challenges. However, if a person doesn’t use time productively, more challenges surface when they get out. Complications follow, such as unemployment, underemployment, or even homelessness. People who don’t prepare may also face further difficulties with the law, as recidivism rates show.

For that reason, we wrote Preparing for Success After Prison. This self-directed workbook teaches people how they can stay productive through every day in prison. The Bureau of Prisons found the workbook so compelling that administrators approved the course as a First Step Act program. More than 100,000 people in jails and prisons can use the program to grow.

The author, Michael Santos, served 26 years in federal prison. He learned lessons from leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Viktor Frankl, and Frederick Douglass. Those lessons gave him hope and helped him prepare for the journey. They empowered him to prepare and return to society successfully, with opportunities to prosper and with his dignity intact.

In Preparing for Success after Prison, we offer the course as an audiobook so that people can learn by listening rather than reading.
